Soon after I was alosed PRESIDENT of the SOCIETY and the Office of Chairman was One of the first acts of my administration was the employment of Messrs. Price, Water house & Company, charterol accountants of Great Britain and New York, and Morar, Haskins & Sells, certified public accountauts of New York, to investigate the affairs of the Society, under directions to render complete and sshaustive reports on the following sub facts:

1. The Society's annual exposes, including legal expeness, advertising expansex, agency expenses, and cost of securing business.

The real estate investments of the Com. pany, including in the case of each parcel the value at which it is carried upon the banks of the Society: the income which it yielle, ml the fair valuation of the property, whether above or below the veine at which it is carried upon the books of the Society. (If necessary, real estate experts may he employed in as certaining the rains and income of the rea! estato, subject, of course, to my approval as to men and term),

POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS,

It will be the policy of the Society horeafter not to make contributions to political campaigns. It is my opinion that we have no right to use. the fauds of the Society for any such purpose.

REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES

In the last ten years this Society has loaned over G. $120,000,000 on real estata mortgages, mostly in large cities. Only in six of these ears has it had to take property aadae foroc osure and in these six instancos the pro- perty was sadd so as to set a profit.

doubtless asking themselves

A great many Equitable polioyholders are question whether it will pay them to continue their policies. To such I wish to say most ampliati eally that my investigation of the affairs of the Society bas convinced me that there is no cheapar way for the polleyholders of the Equitable to have sound life insurance than by retaining their policies, Aaf have pointed out, the surplus of over G. $67,000,000, are safely invested upon a basis which returns an excos. lent rate of interest upon the revised valuations, and I expect in due time to accomplish such economies that the cost of administration and secuting new business will be reduced to lowest possible basis consistent with safety and efficiency. I, nor liugly, believe that by cha tinuing your policies in the Equitable you will receive life insurance at the lowest cost con- sistool with safety.
